商品描述

Reading Anatomy of a Robot is like having a robot on the operating
room table. Crack open the pages, and you’ll be able to dissect a robot from
head to toe—or from project management and design to motors and power
systems.

Discover how robots articulate movements, how they see and hear, what
gives them their power, and, at times, their gentleness. Delve into the robot’s
“brains,” and learn how experienced robot designers use control systems to make
their machines think.

Much more than an enumeration of parts, Anatomy of a Robot exposes
the life and human creativity behind today’s robot. Always entertaining, this
exceptional book takes you deep inside the theory and craft, philosophy and
science of robotics. Coverage ranges from control systems and computer hardware
to “nuts and bolts” topics such as actuators and mechanics, with plenty of humor
and mathematical equations to help with the anatomy lesson.

A must for robot professionals and serious robot hobbyists, and a treat
for science lovers and teachers, Anatomy of a Robot is a journey inside
one of today’s most exciting and fast-moving disciplines
